00:00:00I am spelled the youngest of the three sisters of fate. I govern the threat of life and absolute luck.
00:00:06When I descended to the mortal world for my trial, I was adopted by a mid-level mafia family.
00:00:12Seeing my beauty and charm, they forced me to become the wife of the mafia heir, Vincent.
00:00:19I had no love for him, but out of duty as his wife, I worked day and night to bless
00:00:26Vincent with an aura of luck.
00:00:27In shootouts and bloodbaths, bullets always miraculously missed his vital points.
00:00:33In the end, with my help, he united all of John County.
00:00:36But Vincent was convinced he survived every storm of gunfire because his lover Mia prayed for him in church.
00:00:42Instead, he blamed me as the one who ruined his love with Mia.
00:00:46So every time he saw me, he would drag me into a corner and slap me hard.
00:00:51As if only killing me could satisfy his rage.
00:00:54Later, to protect Mia, after she offended a deadly enemy, Vincent drugged me and threw me into the dark web's
00:01:01red light district to pay off the debt.
00:01:03Mia's prayers are what helped me unite John County.
00:01:06Who the hell do you think you are, you bitch, calling yourself the mafia lady?
00:01:11Go to hell.
00:01:12I was abused by thugs until I died.
00:01:15When I opened my eyes again, I heard the click of a bullet being chambered.
00:01:19I realized I had returned to the night of my engagement to Vincent.
00:01:23At this very moment, standing before me was the spokesman of Link City's underworld.
00:01:27This mafia organization was called Rookin.
00:01:29It was terrifyingly powerful, with influence across the entire country.
00:01:33But their godfather, Alisson, had been badly wounded in a shootout, and become a comatose patient who would never wait.
00:01:41To stabilize every faction, several spokesmen of the Rookin gang decided to seize women from the major mafia families, and
00:01:48force them into marriage alliances, so they would not be attacked from all sides later.
00:01:52A polite name for it was Marriage Alliance.
00:01:55The ugly truth was hostage-taking.
00:01:57One spokesman pressed the muzzle of his gun to Vincent's forehead.
00:02:00Hand over Mia. Send her to the Rookin family as a hostage.
00:02:04Otherwise, tonight your entire gang will sink to the bottom of the wastewater river.
00:02:08I silently clenched my fists.
00:02:10This was exactly what happened in my last life.
00:02:13Mia was forced to become a hostage, then accidentally knocked over a glass of water and splashed it on the
00:02:19comatose Alisson.
00:02:21For that, the Rookin mafia dragged her to the execution ground and fired machine guns at her for ten minutes.
00:02:27She took ninety-nine bullets.
00:02:29That was when Vincent began to hate me.
00:02:31He believed I was the one who should have been sent as the hostage.
00:02:34I was the one who should have been shot.
00:02:36Mia was the one who deserved to become his mafia matriarch.
00:02:40Just as I thought everything would unfold the same way as in my last life.
00:02:44No!
00:02:45Mia can't go!
00:02:46Send scoge!
00:02:47When I saw Vincent's hand pointing at me, I was shocked.
00:02:51Had Vincent been reborn too?
00:02:54A vicious glint flashed in Vincent's eyes.
00:02:57Either way, someone has to be sent as a hostage.
00:03:00Let Skolt marry that vegetable.
00:03:02At least the useless thing will finally be good for something!
00:03:05Seeing me hesitate, Mia began to sob like a flower beaten by rain.
00:03:10Skolt, I want to go through with the marriage alliance too, but I'm truly not well.
00:03:13I can't take care of anyone!
00:03:15I really can't go!
00:03:18When Vincent's father saw Mia looking so wronged, pain flashed in his eyes.
00:03:22He turned to me and said,
00:03:23Our family adopted you when you were a child.
00:03:26Now that the family is in trouble, it's time for you to repay us.
00:03:31Listening to their heartless words, I shook my head helplessly, tears pouring down my face.
00:03:36Every one of them sounded so righteous, but they were clearly trying to shove me into the fire.
00:03:41But the moment I took half a step back, the thugs around me moved in and blocked my retreat.
00:03:47It was as if they had already decided I was their prisoner and would never be allowed to escape.
00:03:52Vincent stared at me.
00:03:53Even pressing the gun barrel against my forehead.
00:03:56As if the moment I dared say no.
00:03:58He would pull the trigger and blow my head apart.
00:04:02I led out alongside.
00:04:03I looked at the red thread of pain over Vincent's heart.
00:04:06A thread only I could see.
00:04:08I had bound it to him when I first came to this family.
00:04:11As long as that thread remained connected, he would always turn disaster into fortune.
00:04:16It was because of that thread that Vincent had united John County without suffering a single injury.
00:04:22But once I left, the red thread would quickly disappear, and from then on, misfortune would follow him everywhere.
00:04:29I remembered my past life, how he completely ignored everything I had done in silence, and believed it was all
00:04:35thanks to Mia's prayers.
00:04:37But he never knew that Mia went to church every day, only to sleep with other men.
00:04:42Since Vincent insisted on making me the hostage, since Vincent and Mia insisted on being together, then I would simply
00:04:51give them what they wanted.
00:04:54Fine.
00:04:55I'll go.
00:04:56I pushed Vincent's gun barrel aside.
00:05:00Then, without the slightest attachment, I turned and walked toward the Rookin Gang's Rolls Royce parked in the rain.
00:05:08Vincent froze for a moment, as if he had not expected me to agree so easily.
00:05:13But he still let out a cold snort, and wrapped his arm around Mia.
00:05:18Baby, that annoying old hag is gone.
00:05:20From now on, we can finally be together openly, and you will become my mafia matriarch.
00:05:26Stop it!
00:05:27I don't want to be some mafia matriarch!
00:05:32I only want Vincent to be safe and sound.
00:05:34That's all the happiness I need.
00:05:37Vincent's expression softened instantly.
00:05:39You truly are a gentle, virtuous wife.
00:05:42Marrying you is the greatest luck of my life.
00:05:45Not like Skold.
00:05:46All she ever did was cling to my status, then shamelessly claim my luck came from her.
00:05:51Watching them, my heart turned colder and colder.
00:05:55I let out a long sigh.
00:05:57I raised my right hand toward the empty air, and made a scissor motion.
00:06:10I had just gotten into the Rolls Royce, when a scream rang out behind me.
00:06:19He clutched his face and collapsed in agony, blood mixing with tears as it streamed down.
00:06:25Mia was so frightened, she hid to the side.
00:06:27It must have been that jinx Skold!
00:06:30I remember she gave you that lighter.
00:06:34She was trying to hurt you on purpose!
00:06:37Vincent's father rushed over to support his son, glaring viciously in the direction I had left.
00:06:43I knew that woman was a curse!
00:06:46She acted like a good wife, but behind our backs she was doing deadly things.
00:06:51Sending her off today to be buried with that dead man is letting her off easy!
00:06:56Vincent endured the terrible pain, and agreed through gritted teeth.
00:07:00You're right!
00:07:01Good thing we drove that bitch away!
00:07:03Otherwise she'd have killed me sooner or later!
00:07:07Hearing them personally, I felt only a chill in my heart.
00:07:12Soon, I arrived at the Rookin Gang's manor.
00:07:15The car had barely stopped when several tattooed underlings yanked the door open and dragged me out.
00:07:20Move faster, John County Hostage!
00:07:23A bald underling shoved me hard, and I stumbled and fell to the ground.
00:07:28Another underling spat beside my feet.
00:07:30Don't think you're about to rise above your station and become the Godfather's wife.
00:07:36In this house you're a servant, the lowest kind of servant.
00:07:39They pushed and kicked me the whole way until I was brought to the Godfather's bedroom.
00:07:44Allison lay quietly on the wide bed, his eyes closed.
00:07:47Though he was badly injured and unconscious, his face was still so handsome, it was impossible
00:07:53to look away.
00:07:54Looking at his deep, striking features, I couldn't help losing focus.
00:07:58I never imagined the terrifying Mafia Godfather everyone feared could be such a beautiful man.
00:08:05Touching Allison's face, I couldn't help thinking of Sleeping Beauty from a fairy tale.
00:08:09I gently kissed his lips, hoping he would come back to life like in the stories.
00:08:14But his ECG did not react at all, yet Allison's shallow breath brushed my cheek, making my
00:08:21ears turn red.
00:08:22I sighed, raised my hand, and gently tied the red thread of fate to his heart.
00:08:28If he simply spent the rest of his life lying in bed, it would be far too great a pity.
00:08:34Although I did not know whether the threat of fate could heal a comatose patient, I was
00:08:39still willing to try.
00:08:41As soon as I finished, the butler stormed in with a cold expression.
00:08:45He yanked me away from the bedside and pointed outside the door.
00:08:49Don't think you're here to enjoy yourself.
00:08:51Go to the backyard and wash every servant's clothes clean.
00:08:55I silently turned and left, but at the instant the door closed, Allison, who had been lifeless
00:09:01on the bed, moved one finger slightly.
00:09:04I squatted in the backyard laundry room, struggling to scrub a mountain of dirty clothes.
00:09:09The servants around me nodded me with these to help.
00:09:12They deliberately kicked dirty water onto me and mocked me without restraint.
00:09:16I lowered my head.
00:09:18In the Rookin family, even the watchdogs are nobler than you.
00:09:22Now you're beneath even us servants.
00:09:25You're just a filthy bitch here to wash our diapers!
00:09:29I lowered my head, my eyes reddening.
00:09:32Maybe this was what it meant to be sold off cheaply by Vincent's family.
00:09:36Just then, Vincent and Mia actually slaggered in.
00:09:39Well, look who it is.
00:09:40My former mafia lady.
00:09:42Why are you doing servants' work now?
00:09:43Vincent covered his nose, his face full of disgust.
00:09:46Don't say that about her.
00:09:48No matter how much rough work she has to do, it's still better than keeping that dead-fought
00:09:52other company.
00:09:53Every time I think about her husband being a motionless vegetable, my heart breaks for her.
00:09:58I lifted my head.
00:10:00What happened to your face?
00:10:02Vincent froze, then kicked over the basin in front of me in shame and anger.
00:10:06My business is none of your damn concern!
00:10:10I silently took half a step back.
00:10:12It seemed the bad luck had already begun to take effect on him.
00:10:16And it would only grow worse.
00:10:18Sooner or later, it would threaten his life.
00:10:21Irritated, Vincent pulled out a new lighter to light his cigar.
00:10:24But a spark unexpectedly fell into a discarded oil drum nearby.
00:10:29Wayne shot up in an instant.
00:10:32Mia panicked and backed away.
00:10:34Only to knock over the diesel on the floor with one foot.
00:10:36The fire raced along the oil stairs.
00:10:39And in the blink of an eye, the entire room became a sea of flames.
00:10:43I stared in shock at the doorway sealed shut by the fire.
00:10:47Vincent was so frightened, his cigar fell to the ground.
00:10:50He scrambled over to ram the burning iron door.
00:10:53Only to burn his hand and retreat, screaming.
00:10:55Mia was completely terrified.
00:10:57Collapsing in the flames and sobbing hysterically.
00:11:00Help! Somebody help!
00:11:01I don't want to die!
00:11:02I still have to become the mafia matriarch!
00:11:05Smoke billowed everywhere.
00:11:07When Vincent and Mia realized they could not escape, they lunged at me like mad.
00:11:11This is all your fault, you bitch!
00:11:13If we die, we die together!
00:11:15Vincent raised his hand and slapped me hard across the face.
00:11:19Mia viciously reached out to grab my hand.
00:11:22I was slapped to the ground, and blood instantly spilled from the corner of my mouth.
00:11:27Vincent still did not seem satisfied.
00:11:30He gripped my scalp tightly and dragged me desperately toward the flames.
00:11:34The thick smoke made me talk violently, and tears burst from my eyes from the pain.
00:11:40Let go of me.
00:11:42Let go of me.
00:11:46Let go of me.
00:11:49Let go of me.
00:11:49Let go of me.
00:11:49Scorching flames surrounded me, and my skin stung as it burned in waves.
00:11:54I closed my eyes helplessly, endless sorrow and dead silence rising in my heart.
00:12:01Even after being given another life, even as the goddess of fate, was I still unable to escape being killed
00:12:07by a heartless man.
00:12:10Just then, a tall, straight figure suddenly charged out of the flames.
00:12:14Alisand seized Vincent's wrist and kicked him away, then held me tightly in his arms.
00:12:21He gazed at me with deep affection.
00:12:26Skolt, I came to save you.
00:12:28After Alisand spoke, the entire laundry room fell deathly silent.
00:12:32Vincent had been kicked into the corner by him, clutching his chest.
00:12:35He could not get up for a long time.
00:12:36Mia screamed in terror.
00:12:40Weren't you a vegetable?
00:12:42Alisand did not look at her.
00:12:44He lowered his head and draped his coat over my shoulder, where the fire had burned through my clothes.
00:12:49Does it hurt?
00:12:53I stared at him in a daze.
00:12:55Just a few hours ago, he had been lying in bed.
00:12:58His breathing so faint it seemed it might stop at any second.
00:13:03When the butler rushed in with his men and saw this scene,
00:13:06his face instantly went deathly pale.
00:13:10Godfather, you're awake?
00:13:12A lesson carried me outside.
00:13:14Just as the butler was about to follow,
00:13:18Alisand suddenly stopped.
00:13:20Who made madam wash clothes?
00:13:22The butler's knees went weak, and he dropped straight to the floor.
00:13:32The servants who had humiliated me just now also dropped to their knees one after another,
00:13:37knocking their foreheads against the floor.
00:13:39Madam, spare us!
00:13:42I lowered my eyes and said nothing.
00:13:44A few hours ago, they had said I was beneath even a watchdog.
00:13:48Now they did not even dare raise their heads to look at me.
00:13:52Vincent staggered to his feet and sneered through gritted teeth.
00:13:56Alisand, don't get it twisted.
00:13:57She's just a woman I threw away sent here as your hostage.
00:14:01Alisand finally raised his eyes.
00:14:04The next second, the bodyguards behind him drew their guns.
00:14:08All muzzles aimed straight at Vincent.
00:14:10Alisand's voice was very soft.
00:14:12From the moment she stepped into the can-be-rookin gang,
00:14:15she became my wife.
00:14:16Anyone who calls her a hostage again,
00:14:19I'll cut out his tongue.
00:14:20Vincent's face stiffened.
00:14:22Nia immediately cried and hid in his arms.
00:14:25Vincent, I'm so scared!
00:14:27Vincent tried to act tough,
00:14:29but as soon as he took a step forward,
00:14:31an iron frame burned loose overhead
00:14:32and suddenly came crashing down.
00:14:35If he had not dodged fast enough,
00:14:37his skull would have been smashed on the spot.
00:14:39Watching him roll around in such a sorry state,
00:14:41I felt no ripple in my heart.
00:14:43After the red thread of fate was cut,
00:14:45he finally began to bear the fate that had always belonged to him.
00:14:48Skolt,
00:14:49were you the one who pulled me back from hell?
00:14:51I was just about to answer.
00:14:53But he suddenly groaned
00:14:54and blood sealed from the corner of his lips.
00:14:56The moment Alisand coughed up blood,
00:14:59everyone panicked.
00:15:00The doctor was called in overnight,
00:15:02and the entire manor blazed with lights.
00:15:05I stood by the bed,
00:15:07watching the newly tied red thread of fate on his chest flicker in and out.
00:15:11His body was too badly wounded.
00:15:14My luck could wake him,
00:15:16but it couldn't heal him right away.
00:15:18After the doctor finished examining him,
00:15:20his voice trembled.
00:15:22The godfather waking up is already a miracle,
00:15:25but his old injuries remain.
00:15:26He must not get angry again,
00:15:28and he absolutely cannot fire a gun again.
00:15:31Alisand leaned against the headboard,
00:15:33his face pale,
00:15:34but he was still holding my hand.
00:15:37Treat her wounds first.
00:15:38The doctor immediately turned to me.
00:15:40My shoulder and arms were covered in red burns,
00:15:42and there was still blood at the corner of my mouth.
00:15:44The butler knelt to the doorway,
00:15:45not daring to come in.
00:15:46Madam, I was blind.
00:15:48Then keep kneeling.
00:15:50The butler shuddered and pressed his forehead to the floor.
00:15:54Just then,
00:15:54a shrill screech of brakes came from outside.
00:15:57Vincent was taking Mia away from the manor,
00:15:59but the moment his car started,
00:16:01a tire suddenly burst.
00:16:02The car spun out of control
00:16:04and slammed her into the counter.
00:16:07Mia screamed as she crawled out of the car.
00:16:10Her dress soaked in a complete mess.
00:16:13Vincent had blood on his forehead.
00:16:15Furious,
00:16:16he kicked the car door.
00:16:18Useless!
00:16:19Trash!
00:16:21You couldn't even check the car properly!
00:16:23His men hurried to explain.
00:16:25Young master,
00:16:25it was fine before we left.
00:16:28Vincent's face darkened.
00:16:31He switched to another car.
00:16:35But as soon as he got in,
00:16:37a gun in the trunk suddenly misfired
00:16:38and the bullet skimmed past his ear
00:16:40and shot through the window.
00:16:42Vincent froze completely.
00:16:44Mia covered her mouth,
00:16:45her voice shaking.
00:16:48Vincent,
00:16:48how could this happen?
00:16:51He suddenly looked toward where I was.
00:16:53Through the curtain of rain,
00:16:55I was standing by the window,
00:16:56looking at him too.
00:16:58I didn't smile.
00:17:01I only raised my hand gently
00:17:02and adjusted Alessand's blanket for him.
00:17:05Skolt!
00:17:06Are you cursing me?
00:17:08I turned and shut the window.
00:17:10He used to think he was untouchable,
00:17:12that Mia's prayers had brought him a miracle.
00:17:16Now the miracle was gone.
00:17:18And he was finally afraid.
00:17:20Behind me,
00:17:21Alessand suddenly opened his eyes.
00:17:23Did he used to bully you like this too?
00:17:25I was silent for a moment.
00:17:27Worse than this.
00:17:29Killing intent surged in Alessand's eyes.
00:17:32Early the next morning,
00:17:33every decision maker in the Rookin gang
00:17:35was summoned to the main building's conference hall.
00:17:38They had thought Alessand had only just woken up
00:17:41and would at most make an appearance.
00:17:44They never expected him to sit personally
00:17:46at the head of the table,
00:17:47dressed in a black suit.
00:17:49I sat beside him.
00:17:50Someone immediately frowned.
00:17:52Godfather,
00:17:53she's just a hostage sent from John County.
00:17:55Letting her attend a family meeting
00:17:57is against the rules.
00:17:58I lowered my eyes and said nothing.
00:18:01Alessand tapped his finger
00:18:02rip lightly on the table.
00:18:03What's your name?
00:18:05The man froze.
00:18:07My name is Bruno.
00:18:09Alessand nodded.
00:18:10The next second,
00:18:11a bodyguard stepped forward
00:18:12and pinned Bruno directly onto the table.
00:18:15Bruno's face changed sharply.
00:18:17Godfather,
00:18:18I was only reminding you of the rules.
00:18:20Alessand looked at him coldly.
00:18:22Since when does the Rookin gang
00:18:23need you to remind me of its rules?
00:18:25The conference hall fell silent at once.
00:18:28Bruno struggled and begged for mercy.
00:18:30I was wrong.
00:18:32I shouldn't have offended her.
00:18:34Alessand looked at me.
00:18:35What was he wrong about?
00:18:37Everyone's eyes fell on me.
00:18:38He was wrong to think I'm a hostage.
00:18:41The corner of Alessand's mouth lifted slightly.
00:18:45Did you know me there?
00:18:46A bodyguard drew a dagger
00:18:48and pressed it against Bruno's face.
00:18:50Bruno shook all over in terror
00:18:51and immediately changed his words.
00:18:53Madam, I offended Madam!
00:18:55The people around us also lowered their heads
00:18:57one after another.
00:18:59Greetings, Madam!
00:19:00Watching their fearful faces,
00:19:01I suddenly felt a little daze.
00:19:03In Vincent's family,
00:19:04I gave everything
00:19:05and still couldn't earn a single word of respect.
00:19:07Here, Alessand had only been awake for one night
00:19:10and he had already placed me in front of everyone.
00:19:12The meeting continued.
00:19:13Someone reported that Vincent and his family
00:19:15returned last night.
00:19:16Two dock warehouses caught fire at the same time
00:19:18and three shipments were intercepted.
00:19:20Vincent's been so unlucky lately,
00:19:22it's like death has its eyes on him.
00:19:24My fingertips paused slightly.
00:19:26Alessand turned his head to look at me.
00:19:28You know why?
00:19:29I didn't answer.
00:19:31Just then, a commotion suddenly came from outside the door.
00:19:35Mia rushed into the conference hall crying
00:19:37and dropped to her knees.
00:19:38Mr. Alessand, please let Vincent go!
00:19:41I understand that Skild hates him,
00:19:43but she can't use dark magic to hurt people!
00:19:45She looked up at me,
00:19:46her tears falling at exactly the right moment.
00:19:49You already have the Godfather backing you!
00:19:52Why still refuse to let us go?
00:19:55The moment Mia said that,
00:19:57everyone in the conference hall looked at me.
00:19:59She knelt on the floor,
00:20:01crying so hard her shoulders shook.
00:20:03Sister, I know you resent Vincent
00:20:06for sending you to the Rookin gang,
00:20:08but you can't curse him
00:20:10just because you're jealous of me.
00:20:12Vincent was soon helped in as well.
00:20:14Half his face was wrapped in bandages
00:20:16and his forehead still bore the injury
00:20:19from last night's crash.
00:20:20The moment he saw me,
00:20:22his eyes were full of venom.
00:20:24Skild, why are you pretending to be innocent?
00:20:27Ever since you left,
00:20:28nothing good has happened around me.
00:20:30Mia immediately picked up the thread.
00:20:32I heard Sister went into
00:20:34the Godfather's room last night.
00:20:35He was unconscious,
00:20:37yet she stayed in there alone for so long.
00:20:39Who knows what she did?
00:20:41The implication was filthy.
00:20:43A few faces in the conference hall shifted.
00:20:46I looked up at her.
00:20:47What are you trying to say?
00:20:48Mia bit her lip
00:20:49as if the words were too shameful to say.
00:20:51I'm only afraid Sister
00:20:53would do anything to climb higher.
00:20:55That's exactly the kind of woman she is.
00:20:58Back at my house,
00:20:59she kept saying every day
00:21:00that my luck came from her.
00:21:02Now she's tricked you into believing
00:21:04she woke your Godfather.
00:21:07What a joke.
00:21:08A lesson sat at the head of the table,
00:21:11his face terrifyingly cold.
00:21:13He lifted his hand slightly.
00:21:16The butler immediately had someone
00:21:17bring over the surveillance screen.
00:21:19On the footage,
00:21:21I entered Alayan's bedroom.
00:21:22I didn't climb into his bed.
00:21:24I didn't seduce him.
00:21:25I only stood beside the bed,
00:21:27looked at him as he slept,
00:21:28and gently tied the red thread of fate to him.
00:21:31The camera couldn't capture the red thread,
00:21:33but it did capture his fingers moving
00:21:34after I kissed him.
00:21:36The next second,
00:21:37all the doctors rushed into the room.
00:21:39The conference hall went utterly silent.
00:21:43A lesson looked at Mia.
00:21:46You said she would do anything?
00:21:48Mia's face went deathly pale,
00:21:50her lips trembling.
00:21:52I...
00:21:52I was just worried.
00:21:53I suddenly spoke.
00:21:55Were you worried about me?
00:21:56Or worried Vincent would find out
00:21:58you never prayed for him at all?
00:21:59Mia jerked her head up.
00:22:01Vinitza froze too.
00:22:03I looked at her.
00:22:04My voice,
00:22:05very soft.
00:22:06When you went to church every day,
00:22:07was it really to pray?
00:22:09Mia's eyes flickered.
00:22:11Of course!
00:22:12Before I could say anything else,
00:22:15Alisand had already ordered someone
00:22:16to pull up another video.
00:22:18The back door of the church,
00:22:19Mia was smiling as a man held her by the waist
00:22:22and led her into a car.
00:22:23Vincent's face went paler by the second.
00:22:26The video had only played for 10 seconds
00:22:29before Mia screamed and lunged at it.
00:22:31Turn it off!
00:22:33This isn't real!
00:22:35The screen shook from the impact,
00:22:37but Vincent had already seen it clearly.
00:22:40That man wasn't a priest,
00:22:42and he wasn't a bodyguard.
00:22:44He was the subordinate
00:22:45in charge of Vincent's dock deals.
00:22:48Mia crawled on her knees to Vincent's feet,
00:22:50crying so hard she could barely breathe.
00:22:52Vincent, listen to me.
00:22:54I only asked him to help me buy medicine.
00:22:57You know I've never been healthy.
00:22:59Vincent raised his hand,
00:23:00then froles with it in midair.
00:23:02He didn't want to believe it.
00:23:04Because if Mia was a fake,
00:23:05then all the prayers he had trusted for years were a joke.
00:23:09I looked at the pain on his face,
00:23:10but felt no pleasure at all.
00:23:12In my past life,
00:23:14I had said it countless times.
00:23:16He never listened.
00:23:18Now the evidence was right in front of him,
00:23:21and he still couldn't bear to wake up.
00:23:23Vincent suddenly turned and glared at me.
00:23:25You set this up!
00:23:27Skalt,
00:23:27You actually forged this just to destroy Mia!
00:23:31Aleson's eyes darkened.
00:23:33The bodyguards immediately stepped forward.
00:23:35I held down Aleson's hand.
00:23:38Not yet.
00:23:40Vincent left with Mia,
00:23:41in disgrace.
00:23:43He still had an arms deal to negotiate.
00:23:45It was his last chance to stabilize John County.
00:23:49But the moment he arrived at the warehouse,
00:23:51the crane cable suddenly snapped,
00:23:53and an entire crate of weapons smashed through the floor.
00:23:57The buyer's expression changed on the spot.
00:24:00Vincent,
00:24:00you can't even protect the goods.
00:24:02You still want to talk cooperation with me?
00:24:05Vincent drew his gun,
00:24:07trying to regain control.
00:24:08But the moment the gun was loaded,
00:24:10the magazine suddenly jammed.
00:24:12The other side's men had already raised their guns and surrounded him.
00:24:15Even his own men began backing away.
00:24:21In the past,
00:24:22Vincent could always crush situations like this without a scratch.
00:24:25Today,
00:24:26he couldn't even fire his gun.
00:24:28A gunshot rang out.
00:24:30The bullet grazed his shoulder,
00:24:31and blood instantly poured out.
00:24:34Vincent's pupils contracted.
00:24:36He finally began to fear.
00:24:38I heard luck abandon you lately.
00:24:41Turns out it's true.
00:24:42At the same time,
00:24:45I stood on the balcony of the Rukin Manor
00:24:47and saw a gray-black thread of fate snap in the distant sky.
00:24:51That was the first Doc Vincent had lost.
00:24:56Alexan walked up behind me.
00:25:00What are you looking at?
00:25:02Watching someone fall from his pedestal.
00:25:05Alexan recovered very quickly.
00:25:07By the third day,
00:25:09he could already get out of bed
00:25:11and handle family documents.
00:25:14The doctor called it a miracle.
00:25:16Only I knew it was the red thread of fate
00:25:19stealing his life back for him.
00:25:23But the closer I got to him,
00:25:25the more something felt wrong.
00:25:30Allison's was different.
00:25:32This wasn't an injury from a shootout.
00:25:35Someone had tampered with his fate in advance.
00:25:38While he was asleep,
00:25:40I reached out and touched the black era.
00:25:43The moment my finger touched it,
00:25:45a bone-deep chill drilled into my body.
00:25:49Several images flashed before my eyes.
00:25:52A rainy night.
00:25:55An explosion.
00:25:56A glass of wine that had been switched.
00:26:00Godfather,
00:26:01it's time to sleep.
00:26:02I jerked my hand back,
00:26:04cold sweat soaking my back.
00:26:06But a lesson suddenly grabbed my wrist.
00:26:11What did you see?
00:26:13I met his eyes.
00:26:15He hadn't been asleep at all.
00:26:18You becoming a vegetable wasn't an accident.
00:26:22Alexan's eyes turned icy.
00:26:25Who?
00:26:26I shook my head.
00:26:28I only saw a black ring.
00:26:31As soon I finished speaking,
00:26:33someone knocked on the door.
00:26:36The butler came in to report.
00:26:39Godfather,
00:26:40Damon,
00:26:41the second in command is here.
00:26:43He says he wants to visit you.
00:26:45I lifted my eyes toward the door.
00:26:50Damon wore a dark gray suit,
00:26:52and on his finger was a black ring.
00:26:56He smiled respectfully.
00:26:58Now that the Godfather is awake,
00:27:00I can finally be at ease.
00:27:03Alexan said nothing.
00:27:05Damon's gaze landed on me,
00:27:07carrying a trace of barely perceivable disgust.
00:27:09But Madam is from John County after all.
00:27:12Her identity is sensitive.
00:27:14Keeping her by your side all the time
00:27:16may affect the family's stability.
00:27:18The other end of the thread
00:27:19was actually connected to Vincent's family.
00:27:22My heart sank.
00:27:23So the mole inside the Rookin gang
00:27:26had been colliding with Vincent's side all along.
00:27:28Damon was still smiling.
00:27:32Godfather,
00:27:33why don't we hold an elders meeting tonight
00:27:35and decide again
00:27:36whether Madam should stay
00:27:37or leave?
00:27:39A lesson looked at me.
00:27:41I gently held his hand.
00:27:44Sure.
00:27:45I'd like to see
00:27:47who wants me gone the most.
00:27:49A storm broke over the Rookin estate.
00:27:52Damon sat at the far end of the long table,
00:27:56the black ring on his finger
00:27:57gleaming cold under the lights.
00:27:59He spoke first.
00:28:01The Godfather has only just woken up.
00:28:04He's still weak.
00:28:06And his wife is from John County.
00:28:09For the family's safety,
00:28:11I suggest we lock her
00:28:12in the basement for now.
00:28:16Several elders immediately echoed him.
00:28:20Damon has a point.
00:28:22A hostage should know her place.
00:28:26I sat there quietly
00:28:27and did not argue.
00:28:29Alessand's fingers tapped
00:28:30lightly on the table.
00:28:35Go on.
00:28:36Damon thought he was wavering
00:28:38and his smile deepened.
00:28:40And I've found out that Vincent
00:28:41has had one accident
00:28:43after another lately.
00:28:46People outside are saying
00:28:48it's because his wife
00:28:49used witchcraft.
00:28:50We can't let the Rookin gang
00:28:52be dragged down
00:28:53by a woman like that.
00:28:57As soon as he finished,
00:28:59footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
00:29:01The butler escorted in a man
00:29:02covered in blood.
00:29:04It was a messenger
00:29:05from the Vincent family.
00:29:08Damon's face changed.
00:29:11Why aren't you smiling now?
00:29:18The messenger knelt on the floor
00:29:20and shakily handed over
00:29:21a secret letter.
00:29:25The letter said that if Damon
00:29:27forced me out
00:29:27at the elders' council,
00:29:29the Vincent family
00:29:30would give him three docks.
00:29:32The room went dead silent.
00:29:35Damon shot to his feet.
00:29:37It's fake!
00:29:38I'm being framed!
00:29:44I raised my hand
00:29:45and flicked my fingertip.
00:29:47The next second,
00:29:48the phone in his pocket rang.
00:29:55Vincent's furious voice
00:29:56came through the speaker.
00:29:58Damon, didn't you say
00:30:00you could get skulls
00:30:01kicked out of the Rookin gang's knives?
00:30:03Why haven't I heard anything?
00:30:05Damon's face turned ashen.
00:30:09Allison slowly rose to his feet.
00:30:15So while I was asleep,
00:30:16this is how you sold out
00:30:17the Rookin gang.
00:30:20Damon turned to run.
00:30:21The bodyguards immediately
00:30:23drew their guns.
00:30:24I wasn't the one who cuddled.
00:30:26His own greed
00:30:27had brought him to the end.
00:30:31After Damon was dragged away,
00:30:32no one at the elders' council
00:30:34dared to look up again.
00:30:36Allison announced in front of everyone
00:30:37that from now on,
00:30:39I could come and go anywhere
00:30:40in Rookin territory,
00:30:42including the armory,
00:30:43the accounts room,
00:30:44and the interrogation chamber.
00:30:46The moment he said it,
00:30:47several elders went pale.
00:30:50I knew they weren't afraid of me.
00:30:52They were afraid I would see
00:30:54the dirty lines behind them.
00:30:57After the meeting,
00:30:59Allison took me back to my room.
00:31:01The corridor was long,
00:31:03the wall lamps dim and yellow.
00:31:05He suddenly stopped
00:31:06and turned to look at me.
00:31:12You knew Damon was a problem all along.
00:31:17I didn't deny it.
00:31:21I saw it.
00:31:27Saw what?
00:31:28I looked up into his sharp eyes.
00:31:31He was too smart.
00:31:33Since waking up,
00:31:34he had not asked.
00:31:36But that did not mean
00:31:37he had no doubts.
00:31:39Everyone has lines on them.
00:31:41Some are life lines.
00:31:43Some are fate lines.
00:31:46Allison was silent
00:31:47for a long time.
00:31:51So Vincent's bad luck
00:31:53is because his line broke?
00:31:55My fingertip trembled.
00:31:58He had guessed it after all.
00:32:01I turned to leave,
00:32:02but he caught my wrist.
00:32:06He didn't use force,
00:32:08yet I couldn't escape.
00:32:10Scold,
00:32:12who exactly are you?
00:32:16I remembered my past life
00:32:18just before I died
00:32:19when Vincent called me
00:32:20a filthy bitch.
00:32:21I remembered how
00:32:23after my rebirth,
00:32:24everyone forced me
00:32:25to become a hostage.
00:32:27I'm someone who once
00:32:28gave her luck
00:32:29to the wrong person.
00:32:31Something shifted
00:32:32in Allison's eyes.
00:32:34And now you've given it to me?
00:32:36I did not answer.
00:32:39But he suddenly
00:32:40lowered his head
00:32:41and kissed my fingertip.
00:32:48Then I'll prove
00:32:49you didn't give it
00:32:50to the wrong person
00:32:51this time.
00:32:56My heart jolted hard.
00:32:58Just then,
00:32:59an explosion sounded
00:33:00outside the window.
00:33:03The butler rushed in.
00:33:05Godfather!
00:33:06The Vincenza family
00:33:07attacked our south dock!
00:33:09Allison sneered.
00:33:12He still dares to come?
00:33:15I looked out the window.
00:33:21Overnight,
00:33:22the south dock
00:33:23turned into a battlefield.
00:33:25Vincent had brought his men
00:33:27in a sneak attack,
00:33:28hoping to take back
00:33:29the seized arms.
00:33:30But the moment
00:33:31he got out of the car,
00:33:33the wooden plank
00:33:34under his feet
00:33:34suddenly snapped.
00:33:37He fell straight
00:33:38into the filthy water.
00:33:40His men rushed
00:33:41to pull him out.
00:33:43But a crate of ammunition
00:33:44had been soaked
00:33:45by the rain
00:33:46and misfired
00:33:47in his top.
00:33:47The Rook and gang
00:33:48barely had to try
00:33:49before forcing them
00:33:50into the corner
00:33:51of the warehouse.
00:33:54Allison stood above them,
00:33:56pale but steady
00:33:57as a statue.
00:33:58I stood beside him
00:34:00and watched Vincent
00:34:00being brought up.
00:34:02He was soaked through,
00:34:03and his shoulder
00:34:04was still bleeding.
00:34:06The moment he saw me,
00:34:08his eyes lit up.
00:34:10Skult!
00:34:13He broke free
00:34:14from the bodyguards
00:34:16and dropped to his knees
00:34:17in front of me
00:34:18in a miserable state.
00:34:20Help me once.
00:34:22Just once.
00:34:25I looked at him.
00:34:27In my past life,
00:34:28he had knelt like this too.
00:34:30Not to beg me to live,
00:34:34but to beg me to die
00:34:36so Mia could be safe.
00:34:39Vincent grabbed the hem
00:34:40of my dress,
00:34:41his voice hoarse.
00:34:42I know now.
00:34:45Everything that's happened
00:34:47to me lately
00:34:47is because you left.
00:34:49As long as you give me
00:34:50your luck again,
00:34:51I can let you return
00:34:53to the Vincent family.
00:34:56I almost laughed out loud.
00:34:59Let me return?
00:35:00He thought that was a gift.
00:35:02Mia rushed over
00:35:03from behind
00:35:03and threw her arms
00:35:05around Vincent.
00:35:05Are you insane?
00:35:07You're begging this woman?
00:35:09Vincent shoved her away
00:35:10irritably.
00:35:11Mia fell to the ground,
00:35:13her face full of disbelief.
00:35:15I looked down at Vincent.
00:35:19Didn't you say
00:35:20it was Mia's prayers
00:35:21that protected you?
00:35:22Vincent's face stiffened.
00:35:25I misunderstood you before,
00:35:28but you're still my wife.
00:35:30You should help me.
00:35:32Allison's eyes
00:35:33instantly turned cold.
00:35:34I held down his hand,
00:35:36crouched,
00:35:36and gently pulled back
00:35:37the hem of my dress.
00:35:41Vincent,
00:35:42I gave you luck
00:35:43many times,
00:35:44but every time,
00:35:46you used it
00:35:47to protect Mia
00:35:47and hurt me.
00:35:51Vincent still wanted
00:35:53to speak.
00:35:54I raised my hand
00:35:56and flicked lightly
00:35:57through the air.
00:36:00The last strand
00:36:01of golden light
00:36:02on his chest
00:36:03scattered completely.
00:36:06The next second,
00:36:08a roof beam
00:36:09in the warehouse
00:36:09snapped and slammed
00:36:10down behind him,
00:36:12only half an inch away,
00:36:13and he would have been
00:36:14crushed into pulp.
00:36:16Vincent collapsed
00:36:17on the ground,
00:36:18scared limp.
00:36:19Mia screamed
00:36:20and crawled backward too.
00:36:22I looked at them,
00:36:23my voice very soft.
00:36:25This time,
00:36:26I didn't harm you.
00:36:29I just stopped
00:36:30saving you.
00:36:31Vincent's face
00:36:32went deathly pale,
00:36:34as if he truly understood
00:36:35those words
00:36:36for the first time.
00:36:39Allison ordered his men
00:36:40to throw them
00:36:41out of the dock.
00:36:48On the way back,
00:36:50Mia cried
00:36:51the entire time.
00:36:54Vincent,
00:36:54why did you beg
00:36:55her just now?
00:36:56Didn't you say
00:36:57I was the one
00:36:58you loved most?
00:36:59Vincent did not answer.
00:37:01His mind was filled
00:37:03with my words.
00:37:06I stopped saving you.
00:37:08To prove Mia
00:37:09was still useful.
00:37:11The next day,
00:37:12he forced her
00:37:13to go to church
00:37:14with him.
00:37:14The candlelight flickered
00:37:15inside the church.
00:37:17Mia knelt
00:37:18before the holy statue,
00:37:19crying as she clasped
00:37:20her hands together.
00:37:22God,
00:37:23please keep
00:37:24Vincent safe.
00:37:26Vincent stood
00:37:27behind her,
00:37:27his eyes conflicted.
00:37:29Just then,
00:37:30a man's soft laugh
00:37:32came from the back door.
00:37:33Baby,
00:37:34why did you bring
00:37:35him today?
00:37:36Mia's whole body
00:37:38stiffened.
00:37:39Vincent slowly
00:37:39turned his head.
00:37:41The dock deputy
00:37:41walked in through
00:37:42the back door,
00:37:43still holding
00:37:44Mia's pearl earring.
00:37:48You left this
00:37:49in my car
00:37:49last night.
00:37:52Mia's face
00:37:53instantly went white.
00:37:55No,
00:37:55Vincent,
00:37:56let me explain!
00:37:58Vincent grabbed
00:37:59her wrist.
00:38:02You come to church
00:38:04every day
00:38:04to see him?
00:38:06Seeing things
00:38:07go wrong,
00:38:08the deputy
00:38:09turned to run.
00:38:10But several assassins
00:38:11suddenly rushed in
00:38:12at the entrance.
00:38:15Vincent instinctively
00:38:16pushed Mia in front
00:38:17of him.
00:38:18A bullet
00:38:19flew past Mia's
00:38:20shoulder.
00:38:21She screamed
00:38:22and fell to the ground.
00:38:23Vincent's own face
00:38:25was cut by broken glass.
00:38:27At last,
00:38:28he realized that
00:38:29without me,
00:38:30he could not even
00:38:31survive an ordinary
00:38:32ambush.
00:38:33In the chaos,
00:38:34he saw all the candles
00:38:36before the holy statue
00:38:37go out.
00:38:38The church was
00:38:39swallowed by darkness.
00:38:42Mia cried
00:38:43as she grabbed
00:38:44his pant leg.
00:38:45I really do love you!
00:38:48Vincent looked down
00:38:49at her.
00:38:50For the first time,
00:38:51he did not
00:38:52immediately believe her.
00:38:56Three days later,
00:38:58the Rookan estate
00:38:58held a reinstatement
00:39:00banquet.
00:39:01Alassane officially
00:39:02announced to
00:39:02every mafia group
00:39:03that he was back.
00:39:04I stood beside him
00:39:06in a long black dress.
00:39:07Everyone lowered
00:39:08their heads
00:39:09and called me Madam.
00:39:10Vincent came too.
00:39:12New wounds
00:39:13and old scars
00:39:14crossed his face
00:39:15and his eyes
00:39:16were as cold
00:39:17and venomous
00:39:18as a snake's.
00:39:19Mia followed
00:39:20behind him,
00:39:21her shoulder
00:39:21wrapped in gauze,
00:39:22her face deathly pale.
00:39:24Halfway through
00:39:24the banquet,
00:39:26Vincent suddenly
00:39:26raised his glass
00:39:27with a cold laugh.
00:39:29Skult,
00:39:31look at you now.
00:39:33So impressive.
00:39:34You climbed into
00:39:36a Comawaste man's bed
00:39:37and became the lady
00:39:38of the Rookan gang.
00:39:40What an eye-opener.
00:39:44The banquet hall
00:39:45fell abruptly silent.
00:39:47Allison was just about
00:39:48to stand when I held him back.
00:39:50Holding my wine glass,
00:39:52I walked up to Vincent.
00:39:54Do you know why,
00:39:56in your first shootout
00:39:57at 17,
00:39:58the bullet missed
00:39:59by three inches?
00:40:03Vincent froze.
00:40:05When you were poisoned
00:40:06at 20,
00:40:07why did the poisoned wine
00:40:08get knocked over?
00:40:11The night you unified
00:40:13John County at 23,
00:40:14why did the enemy sniper rifle
00:40:17suddenly explode?
00:40:19The color drained
00:40:20from Vincent's face,
00:40:21bit by bit.
00:40:22He had never told anyone
00:40:24about those things.
00:40:25I looked at him
00:40:27and spoke each word clearly.
00:40:29Because every single time,
00:40:31I was holding
00:40:33your fate line for you.
00:40:39You're lying!
00:40:40It was my prayers!
00:40:42Mia cut in with a shriek.
00:40:44I raised my hand.
00:40:46In the void,
00:40:47the broken thread
00:40:48only I could see
00:40:49trembled faintly
00:40:50at Vincent's chest.
00:40:52I gave it a gentle snip.
00:40:56Snap!
00:40:59Everyone cried out
00:41:00and backed away.
00:41:02Shards sliced
00:41:03across his face.
00:41:06He collapsed to the floor,
00:41:08forgetting even
00:41:09how to breathe.
00:41:13I looked down
00:41:14at him from above.
00:41:18Do you see it now?
00:41:21Your luck
00:41:22was never her.
00:41:23Mia completely panicked.
00:41:26Vincent slowly
00:41:27turned his head
00:41:27and looked at her.
00:41:28For the first time,
00:41:30there was doubt
00:41:31and disgust
00:41:31in his eyes.
00:41:34After the banquet
00:41:35ended,
00:41:36Alisande took me
00:41:37to the top floor
00:41:38of the manor.
00:41:40The night wind
00:41:41was cold.
00:41:42He took off his coat
00:41:43and draped it
00:41:43over my shoulders.
00:41:46Why didn't you
00:41:46let me kill him
00:41:47just now?
00:41:47I looked down
00:41:48at Vincent
00:41:49as he left
00:41:49in disgrace.
00:41:52Death would be
00:41:53too easy.
00:41:55In my past life,
00:41:57when I died,
00:41:58he stood outside
00:41:59the dark web's
00:42:00red light district,
00:42:01smoking as he watched
00:42:02me get dragged
00:42:03into hell.
00:42:04Letting him die
00:42:05from one bullet now
00:42:06would be far
00:42:07too merciful.
00:42:09Alisande didn't
00:42:09ask again.
00:42:11He took a black
00:42:12diamond ring
00:42:13from his pocket.
00:42:14The face of the ring
00:42:15looked like a star
00:42:16in the dead of night.
00:42:19The ring of every
00:42:20Rukin godmother
00:42:20before you.
00:42:22I froze.
00:42:24You don't have to
00:42:25go this far
00:42:25just to repay a debt?
00:42:29Alisande took my hand
00:42:30and slid the ring
00:42:31onto my finger.
00:42:34This isn't repayment.
00:42:36It's a declaration.
00:42:37I tried to pull
00:42:38my hand back,
00:42:39but he held it gently.
00:42:40He looked at me,
00:42:42his voice low.
00:42:43Skolt,
00:42:44you are not the woman
00:42:45Vincent threw away.
00:42:51You are the first person
00:42:52I wanted to protect
00:42:53when I woke up.
00:42:54Something struck softly
00:42:56against my heart.
00:42:57It had been so long.
00:42:59So long that I'd
00:43:00almost forgotten
00:43:01what it felt like
00:43:01to be cherished.
00:43:04Just then,
00:43:05hurried footsteps
00:43:06came from downstairs.
00:43:07The butler came up
00:43:09with news.
00:43:15Godfather,
00:43:16we found it.
00:43:17Before Demon died,
00:43:18he was in contact
00:43:19with an overseas force.
00:43:21They were the same people
00:43:22who ambushed you
00:43:23back then.
00:43:27Allison's eyes
00:43:27went cold
00:43:28in an instant.
00:43:29I lowered my gaze
00:43:30to my fingertips.
00:43:35One of the black threads
00:43:37was stretching out
00:43:37from Mia.
00:43:38She hadn't left
00:43:39the banquet.
00:43:40Instead,
00:43:41she was hiding
00:43:42in the back garden,
00:43:43making an encrypted call.
00:43:45I closed my eyes
00:43:46and heard her
00:43:46trembling voice.
00:43:49If you help me
00:43:50get rid of Skulth,
00:43:51I can tell you
00:43:52Alexan's weakness.
00:43:54My eyes flew open.
00:43:56Allison looked at me.
00:43:57What is it?
00:43:58Mia is going
00:43:59to sell you out.
00:44:00Mia thought
00:44:01she had hidden
00:44:02herself well.
00:44:03She hid behind
00:44:04the rose wall
00:44:04in the back garden,
00:44:06keeping her voice
00:44:06extremely low.
00:44:10Alessan just woke up.
00:44:12His old injuries
00:44:13haven't healed.
00:44:15The person
00:44:16he cares about
00:44:16most is scored.
00:44:19If you grab
00:44:19that woman,
00:44:20he'll lose control.
00:44:22A man chuckled
00:44:23on the other end
00:44:24of the call.
00:44:25What do you want?
00:44:27Mia gritted her teeth.
00:44:29I want
00:44:29Vincent to love me again.
00:44:32I want
00:44:33Skulth dead.
00:44:34Standing in the shadows
00:44:35on the second floor,
00:44:37I heard every word
00:44:38clearly.
00:44:39Allison's men
00:44:40quickly surrounded
00:44:41the garden.
00:44:42But Mia suddenly
00:44:43seemed to sense something.
00:44:45She turned
00:44:45and ran.
00:44:47She ran too fast.
00:44:49Her heels sank
00:44:49into the mud
00:44:50and she fell,
00:44:51covered in filth.
00:44:53Vincent happened
00:44:54to enter
00:44:54through the side door.
00:44:56Mia clung to him
00:44:57like a lifeline,
00:44:58crying as she
00:44:59threw herself
00:44:59into his arms.
00:45:01Vincent, save me!
00:45:02Skulth is trying
00:45:04to hurt me again!
00:45:05Vincent caught her
00:45:06on instinct.
00:45:07But when he saw
00:45:09the encrypted phone
00:45:10in her hand,
00:45:10his face changed.
00:45:13Who were you
00:45:14talking to just now?
00:45:16Mia's eyes
00:45:17darted away.
00:45:18No one.
00:45:20I was just scared.
00:45:24I walked down
00:45:25the steps
00:45:25and looked at her
00:45:26calmly.
00:45:29You told them
00:45:30that Alesson's
00:45:31weakness was me.
00:45:33Mia screamed.
00:45:34You're lying!
00:45:37Alesson raised a hand.
00:45:39The bodyguards
00:45:40immediately played
00:45:41the recording.
00:45:42Mia's voice
00:45:43rang through the garden.
00:45:44Line by line,
00:45:46clear as a blade.
00:45:47Vincent slowly
00:45:48let go of her hand.
00:45:50Mia panicked
00:45:51and lunged forward
00:45:52to grab him.
00:45:54Vincent!
00:45:55I did it for us!
00:45:57One skull is dead!
00:45:58You won't think
00:45:59about her anymore!
00:46:00Vincent slapped her
00:46:01across the face.
00:46:04Mia fell to the ground,
00:46:06clutching her cheek
00:46:07and staring at him
00:46:08in disbelief.
00:46:09The outer wall
00:46:11exploded.
00:46:12A team of assassins
00:46:13in black
00:46:13rushed into the manor.
00:46:15They weren't here
00:46:16to save Mia,
00:46:17they were here
00:46:17to take me.
00:46:19In the chaos,
00:46:21someone covered
00:46:22my mouth and nose
00:46:23from behind.
00:46:24The sharp smell
00:46:25of drugs flooded
00:46:26my nose.
00:46:27The last thing
00:46:28I saw was the fury
00:46:29in Alesson's eyes.
00:46:35When I woke up,
00:46:36my hands were tied
00:46:37behind the chair.
00:46:39The light overhead
00:46:40was blinding.
00:46:41A man in a silver mask
00:46:43stood in front of me.
00:46:45He slowly removed
00:46:46his gloves,
00:46:47his tone so gentle
00:46:48it made my skin crawl.
00:46:51Miss Gold,
00:46:52we finally meet.
00:46:55I saw countless
00:46:56black threads
00:46:57tangled behind him.
00:46:58Among those threads
00:46:59was the fate
00:47:00Alesson had lost
00:47:01when his life
00:47:02was cut short
00:47:03all those years ago.
00:47:08You're the one
00:47:08who put a lesson
00:47:09in a coma.
00:47:12The man chuckled.
00:47:14To be precise,
00:47:15I only made him
00:47:16sleep a little longer.
00:47:20As soon as he
00:47:21finished speaking,
00:47:22the screen beside him
00:47:23lit up.
00:47:23On the screen,
00:47:25Alesson led his men
00:47:26into the abandoned
00:47:26factory area.
00:47:28His face was paler
00:47:29than usual,
00:47:29and blood was seeping
00:47:31from the wound
00:47:31on his chest again.
00:47:33My heart clenched.
00:47:35See?
00:47:36He came,
00:47:37just as expected.
00:47:39On the other side,
00:47:40Vincent was also
00:47:41brought into the factory.
00:47:43He wasn't here
00:47:44to save me.
00:47:45Mia had tricked him
00:47:46into coming.
00:47:47Mia hid behind him
00:47:48crying.
00:47:49Vincent,
00:47:50they said they'll
00:47:50let us go,
00:47:51as long as we
00:47:52hand over Scood.
00:47:55When Vincent saw me,
00:47:57his gaze shook violently.
00:47:59For one second,
00:48:00I thought he might
00:48:01feel guilty.
00:48:02But when the gun
00:48:03was aimed at Mia,
00:48:04he still shouted at me.
00:48:06Skult,
00:48:07aren't you so capable?
00:48:09Figure it out yourself!
00:48:11My heart went
00:48:12completely cold.
00:48:13In my past life,
00:48:14and this one,
00:48:15his choice had never changed.
00:48:17I closed my eyes
00:48:19and lightly curled
00:48:20my fingers.
00:48:21The rope around my wrists
00:48:22suddenly loosened a little.
00:48:24The silver-masked man
00:48:25sensed something was wrong
00:48:26and immediately
00:48:27raised his gun.
00:48:29Don't move.
00:48:30I opened my eyes
00:48:31and looked at him.
00:48:33Do you know
00:48:34what happens
00:48:35to a person
00:48:36when their thread
00:48:37of faith snaps?
00:48:38As the words fell,
00:48:40the iron chain
00:48:40above the property
00:48:41suddenly broke.
00:48:42The suspended cargo
00:48:44container came crashing down.
00:48:46The assassins scattered
00:48:48and turned
00:48:48and flipped aside
00:48:49to dodge the bullet,
00:48:50the rope cutting my wrists bloody.
00:48:52Just then,
00:48:53the main doors blew open
00:48:54with a thunderous crash.
00:48:56He was covered in blood,
00:48:58but his eyes were only on me.
00:48:59When Alisand's voice rang out,
00:49:02my eyes burned.
00:49:03The silver-masked man sneered.
00:49:05Godfather,
00:49:06you came even
00:49:07when you're half dead?
00:49:08Alisand wasted no words.
00:49:09When you drugged me
00:49:10and my past life
00:49:11and threw me
00:49:12into the dark
00:49:12and the first bullet
00:49:13appeared straight
00:49:14through the forehead
00:49:15of the assassin
00:49:15beside the man.
00:49:17Rookin's men
00:49:18charged in
00:49:19from every direction.
00:49:20The factory
00:49:21turned into a battlefield
00:49:22in an instant.
00:49:24He couldn't keep
00:49:26forcing himself like this.
00:49:28But he still
00:49:29walked toward me.
00:49:31Step by step,
00:49:32Vincent hid behind
00:49:34the iron frame,
00:49:35shielding Mia
00:49:36with everything he had.
00:49:38An assassin charged
00:49:39toward them.
00:49:40His first instinct
00:49:42was still to push
00:49:43Mia behind him.
00:49:44And the blade beside me
00:49:46was only an inch
00:49:47from my neck.
00:49:48Suddenly,
00:49:49I found it laughable.
00:49:51It turned out
00:49:53that someone who didn't
00:49:54love you would
00:49:55never choose you,
00:49:56not even if life
00:49:57started over a hundred times.
00:50:01I raised my hand,
00:50:03my fingertips
00:50:03slicing through the air.
00:50:05I yanked the black threads
00:50:07rushing toward me
00:50:08and tangled them tight.
00:50:10The next second,
00:50:11two assassins
00:50:12slammed into each other.
00:50:13Their gun barrels
00:50:14swung off course
00:50:15and they shot each other
00:50:17through the shoulder.
00:50:18The silver-masked man's
00:50:20pupils shrank.
00:50:21What the hell are you?
00:50:23I stood up,
00:50:25blood dripping down
00:50:26my wrists.
00:50:27I'm someone
00:50:28you should never
00:50:29have touched.
00:50:31Humiliated and furious,
00:50:32he raised his gun
00:50:33and aimed at me.
00:50:35Allison lunged forward
00:50:36and pulled me
00:50:37into his arms.
00:50:39The bullet
00:50:39grazed his back.
00:50:41He let out
00:50:42a muffled groan,
00:50:43but fired back
00:50:44with one hand,
00:50:45shattering the
00:50:46silver-masked man's knee.
00:50:48The man screamed
00:50:49and dropped to his knees.
00:50:51Allison held me,
00:50:53his voice heavy.
00:50:55Where are you hurt?
00:50:59I looked at the blood
00:51:01on his back,
00:51:01my voice trembling.
00:51:05You can't take
00:51:06any more injuries.
00:51:08He lowered his head
00:51:09and looked at me.
00:51:12But you were there.
00:51:13With just those words,
00:51:15the last wall
00:51:16around my heart
00:51:17suddenly cracked.
00:51:19In the distance,
00:51:20Vincent watched us,
00:51:22his face dark with rage.
00:51:24Mia clung to him,
00:51:25crying.
00:51:29Let's go, now!
00:51:33But Vincent didn't move.
00:51:36He stared fixedly at me.
00:51:43As if he had finally
00:51:44realized that the woman
00:51:45who once had eyes
00:51:47only for him,
00:51:48would truly never
00:51:49look back again.
00:51:56The silver-masked man
00:51:57was taken back
00:51:58to the Rookin dungeon.
00:52:01Allison also fell
00:52:02unconscious again,
00:52:04after his old wounds
00:52:05reopened.
00:52:08doctors went in
00:52:09and out of the room,
00:52:10each face graver
00:52:11than the last.
00:52:13The godfather
00:52:14has lost too much blood.
00:52:16Whether he wakes up
00:52:17depends on tonight.
00:52:19I stood beside the bed,
00:52:21my palms slick
00:52:22with cold sweat.
00:52:24The red thread of fate
00:52:25on his chest
00:52:26had become extremely thin,
00:52:28as if it might snap
00:52:29at any moment.
00:52:31The butler knelt
00:52:33outside the door,
00:52:34his voice choked.
00:52:35Madam,
00:52:36please save the godfather.
00:52:40I looked at
00:52:41Allison's pale face.
00:52:43For the first time,
00:52:44I felt afraid.
00:52:46In my past life,
00:52:48I saved Vincent
00:52:49because it was my duty.
00:52:51In this life,
00:52:52I was saving Allison
00:52:53because I didn't want
00:52:55him to die.
00:52:56I bent down
00:52:57and pressed my forehead
00:52:58to the back of his hand.
00:53:00Alexa,
00:53:01can you hear me?
00:53:04This time,
00:53:06I'll be the one
00:53:07to pull you back
00:53:07from hell.
00:53:09I raised my hand
00:53:11and golden threads
00:53:12surged from my fingertips,
00:53:15winding around his heart
00:53:16one loop after another.
00:53:18Agony shot through my body.
00:53:22The laws of fate
00:53:24were warning me.
00:53:26A mortal's lifespan
00:53:27must not be forcibly changed.
00:53:29But I didn't stop.
00:53:33Every light in the room
00:53:34shattered.
00:53:36Thunder rolled
00:53:36outside the window.
00:53:38A lesson's eyes
00:53:39flew open
00:53:40and he grabbed my hand.
00:53:42Stop.
00:53:45His voice was weak
00:53:47but firm.
00:53:50You'll get hurt.
00:53:52I froze.
00:53:54He looked at me
00:53:55as if he had guessed
00:53:56everything long ago.
00:53:58You're not an ordinary person.
00:54:04I was silent
00:54:05for a long time.
00:54:09I am the youngest
00:54:10of the three sisters
00:54:11of fate.
00:54:13I govern lifelines
00:54:14and fortune.
00:54:16The butler was so frightened
00:54:18he collapsed to the floor.
00:54:20Alisson only tightened
00:54:21his grip on my hand.
00:54:23So you saved Vincent.
00:54:27I nodded.
00:54:29And that was why
00:54:30he failed you.
00:54:32I didn't deny it.
00:54:36Alisson slowly sat up
00:54:38and pulled me
00:54:38into his arms.
00:54:40Then from now on
00:54:42it's my turn
00:54:43to protect a goddess.
00:54:51My eyes burned.
00:54:53Just then
00:54:53an urgent report
00:54:55came from the dungeon.
00:54:56Madam!
00:54:57The silver mask man confessed!
00:55:01Damon wasn't the only one
00:55:03behind what happened
00:55:04to the godfather.
00:55:07Vanessa's family
00:55:08was involved too.
00:55:10In the dungeon
00:55:11the man in the silver mask
00:55:13was tied to an iron chair.
00:55:15His face was covered in blood
00:55:17but he was still laughing.
00:55:19The Vincent family
00:55:20did take part
00:55:21in the ambush
00:55:22back then.
00:55:23They were responsible
00:55:24for selling
00:55:24Alisson's whereabouts
00:55:25to us.
00:55:27Damon was responsible
00:55:28for drugging the wine.
00:55:29I stood outside
00:55:30the iron gate
00:55:31my fingertips
00:55:32turning cold.
00:55:33So the family
00:55:34I had risked
00:55:35everything to protect
00:55:37in my past life
00:55:38had been rotten
00:55:39to the core
00:55:39all along.
00:55:41Alisson sat beside me
00:55:42his face pale
00:55:44his eyes
00:55:44frighteningly cold.
00:55:46Proof.
00:55:47The man in the silver mask
00:55:48spat out
00:55:49a mouthful of blood.
00:55:52Vincent's father
00:55:53has it.
00:55:55He kept a backup
00:55:56so he could turn
00:55:57on us one day.
00:55:58The butler
00:55:59quickly sent people
00:56:00to investigate.
00:56:01By evening
00:56:02the evidence
00:56:03was brought back
00:56:04to the Rookin gang.
00:56:05Ledgers
00:56:06recordings
00:56:07old photos
00:56:08every piece
00:56:10pointed to the
00:56:10Vincent family.
00:56:11There was also
00:56:12a video.
00:56:1323 year old
00:56:14Vincent stood
00:56:15in the middle
00:56:16of a shootout.
00:56:17Bullets raised
00:56:18past me
00:56:18but not one hand.
00:56:20In the corner
00:56:21of the frame
00:56:22I was pale as death
00:56:23bracing myself
00:56:24against the wall
00:56:25golden thread
00:56:26wrapped around
00:56:27my fingertips.
00:56:28Vincent watched
00:56:29the footage
00:56:30in frozen place.
00:56:31He had been
00:56:32brought here
00:56:33under guard
00:56:33by the Rookin gang.
00:56:35At first
00:56:36his face
00:56:37was still
00:56:37full of defiance.
00:56:39But after
00:56:39seeing all
00:56:40the records
00:56:41Neil fear
00:56:42appeared in his
00:56:43eyes for the
00:56:44first time.
00:56:45Then came the
00:56:46collapse.
00:56:47In the second
00:56:47video
00:56:48on the night
00:56:49he was poisoned
00:56:50Mia had never
00:56:51been at the
00:56:51church.
00:56:52She was in a
00:56:53hotel room
00:56:54kissing that
00:56:54deputy.
00:57:03Vincent's lips
00:57:04trembled.
00:57:12Impossible.
00:57:14I looked at
00:57:15you.
00:57:20Now you know.
00:57:48Vincent's knees
00:57:49gave out
00:57:50and he dropped
00:57:51heavily to the
00:57:51floor.
00:58:02That night
00:58:03Vincent knelt
00:58:04outside the
00:58:05Rookin estate.
00:58:06The heavy rain
00:58:08beat down on him.
00:58:10He didn't leave
00:58:11and no one
00:58:13let him in.
00:58:15I stood by
00:58:16the window
00:58:16and watched him
00:58:17kneel from dusk
00:58:18until deep
00:58:18into the night.
00:58:20In my past
00:58:21life
00:58:22when he dragged
00:58:23me into the
00:58:23dark web
00:58:23red light
00:58:24district
00:58:24it had been
00:58:25raining like
00:58:26this too.
00:58:27I cried
00:58:29and begged
00:58:29him.
00:58:30He said
00:58:30Mia was his
00:58:31lucky star.
00:58:32He said
00:58:33I should die.
00:58:37Now the
00:58:38tables had
00:58:39turned.
00:58:40At last
00:58:40he was kneeling
00:58:41before me
00:58:42begging for
00:58:43forgiveness.
00:58:44Madam
00:58:44should we
00:58:45throw him
00:58:46out?
00:58:48I shook
00:58:49my head.
00:58:50Let him
00:58:51kneel.
00:58:52It wasn't
00:58:54mercy.
00:58:55I wanted
00:58:56him to feel
00:58:57every bit
00:58:57of that
00:58:58pain
00:58:58while fully
00:58:59awake.
00:58:59Before dawn
00:59:00Vincent
00:59:01finally
00:59:02couldn't
00:59:02hold on
00:59:02anymore
00:59:03and collapsed
00:59:04in the rain.
00:59:05When he was
00:59:06dragged into
00:59:07the hall
00:59:07he was shaking
00:59:08all over
00:59:09his face
00:59:10deathly pale.
00:59:11The moment
00:59:12he saw me
00:59:12he crawled
00:59:13over
00:59:14and grabbed
00:59:14the hem
00:59:15of my dress.
00:59:18scald
00:59:19I was
00:59:20wrong.
00:59:21I really
00:59:22didn't
00:59:22know.
00:59:23I didn't
00:59:24know you
00:59:24had done
00:59:25so much
00:59:25for me.
00:59:26I looked
00:59:27down at
00:59:27him.
00:59:29You
00:59:30didn't
00:59:30know?
00:59:31I told
00:59:31you many
00:59:32times.
00:59:36Vincent's
00:59:37voice
00:59:37caught in
00:59:38his throat.
00:59:39Of course
00:59:39he remembered.
00:59:41Every time
00:59:41I said
00:59:42it
00:59:42he would
00:59:42slap
00:59:43me
00:59:43and call
00:59:43me
00:59:44shameless
00:59:45accusing
00:59:46me of
00:59:46stealing
00:59:46Mia's
00:59:47credit.
00:59:48Give me
00:59:49one more
00:59:49chance.
00:59:50I can
00:59:51make it
00:59:51up to
00:59:51you.
00:59:52I
00:59:53suddenly
00:59:53laughed.
00:59:56Make
00:59:56it up
00:59:56to
00:59:57me?
00:59:59I
00:59:59crouched
01:00:00down
01:00:00and looked
01:00:00at him
01:00:01calmly.
01:00:02When
01:00:02you
01:00:02drugged
01:00:03me
01:00:03in
01:00:03my

01:00:04and
01:00:04threw

01:00:07you
01:00:07ever

01:00:08about
01:00:08making
01:00:09it
01:00:09up
01:00:09to
01:00:09me?
01:00:13Vincent's
01:00:14face
01:00:14went
01:00:15white
01:00:15in
01:00:15an
01:00:15instant.
01:00:17He
01:00:17didn't
01:00:18know
01:00:18why
01:00:18I
01:00:18would
01:00:18mention
01:00:19a
01:00:19past
01:00:19life.
01:00:21But
01:00:21in
01:00:21that
01:00:22moment
01:00:22it
01:00:23was
01:00:23as
01:00:23if
01:00:23something

01:00:24around

01:06:21The

01:06:22family
01:06:22was
01:06:23finished.
01:06:24I

01:06:25the
01:06:25one

01:07:09unfolded
01:07:09in
01:07:09the

01:07:10River.
01:07:10I

01:07:11betrayed,
01:07:12humiliated,
01:07:13and
01:07:13killed.
01:07:15Then I

01:07:18and woke

01:07:32Returning

01:07:33my

01:07:38in
01:07:38my
01:07:38mind

01:07:41saying
01:07:41he

01:07:47I
01:07:48didn't

01:07:51Verdandi
01:07:52frowned.
01:07:54A

01:08:02I
01:08:03lowered

01:08:03and
01:08:04looked
01:08:04at
01:08:04my

01:08:06The
01:08:06burn
01:08:06marks
01:08:07left
01:08:07from
01:08:07extending

01:08:10What
01:08:11if
01:08:11I

01:08:12leave?
01:08:14The
01:08:14star
01:08:14river
01:08:15surged
01:08:15violently.
01:08:17Verdandi's
01:08:17voice
01:08:18turned
01:08:18cold.
01:08:19Then
01:08:20you
01:08:20will
01:08:20lose
01:08:20part
01:08:21of
01:08:21your

01:08:22power.
01:08:23You

01:08:24even
01:08:24cease
01:08:25to
01:08:25be
01:08:25immortal.
01:08:27When
01:08:28I
01:08:28woke,
01:08:29dawn
01:08:29had
01:08:29just
01:08:29broken.
01:08:32A
01:08:32lesson
01:08:33was
01:08:33sitting
01:08:33by
01:08:33the
01:08:34bed.
01:08:35Clearly,
01:08:35he had
01:08:36kept watch
01:08:36over me
01:08:37all
01:08:37night.
01:08:40What did
01:08:41you dream
01:08:41about?
01:08:43I
01:08:43looked at
01:08:44him,
01:08:44my throat
01:08:45tight.
01:08:46I dreamed
01:08:46I was
01:08:47leaving.
01:08:48His
01:08:48fingertips
01:08:49stiffened,
01:08:51but
01:08:52he
01:08:52didn't
01:08:52ask
01:08:52any
01:08:53further.
01:08:54He
01:08:55only
01:08:55pulled
01:08:56me
01:08:56into
01:08:56his
01:08:56arms.
01:08:58And

01:09:01longer.
01:09:04The
01:09:05power
01:09:05behind
01:09:05the
01:09:05silver
01:09:06mask

01:09:08They
01:09:09joined
01:09:09forces
01:09:09with
01:09:10the
01:09:10remnants

01:09:12launched
01:09:12one
01:09:13final

01:09:14Their
01:09:15target
01:09:15wasn't
01:09:16a
01:09:16lesson.
01:09:17It
01:09:17was

01:09:19That
01:09:19day,
01:09:20Alesson

01:09:24exploded.
01:09:25Killers
01:09:26rushed
01:09:26out of
01:09:27the
01:09:27thick
01:09:27smoke.
01:09:28Every
01:09:28gun
01:09:28aimed
01:09:29at

01:09:31Alizan

01:09:43My

01:09:47My
01:09:47sisters
01:09:48hadn't
01:09:48lied

01:09:48me.
01:09:49By
01:09:50saving
01:09:50Alisanne,
01:09:51I had
01:09:52already
01:09:52broken
01:09:53the
01:09:53rules.
01:09:56The
01:09:57killers
01:09:57were
01:09:57closing

01:10:05The
01:10:06heavy

01:10:14He

01:10:15down
01:10:15at
01:10:15me
01:10:15and
01:10:15actually

01:10:24The

01:10:25one of
01:10:25the
01:10:25silver

01:10:26man's

01:10:27stepped
01:10:27out
01:10:27from
01:10:27the
01:10:28shadows.
01:10:28He
01:10:29raised
01:10:29his
01:10:29gun
01:10:29and
01:10:30aimed
01:10:30at
01:10:30my
01:10:30heart.
01:10:31Alexan
01:10:32barely
01:10:32hesitated
01:10:33before
01:10:33turning
01:10:34and
01:10:34standing
01:10:34in front
01:10:34of
01:10:35me.
01:10:39Blood
01:10:39splashed
01:10:40onto
01:10:40my
01:10:40face.
01:10:42Alesan's
01:10:42body
01:10:43collapsed
01:10:43heavily
01:10:44into
01:10:44my
01:10:44arms.
01:10:47In
01:10:48that
01:10:48moment,
01:10:49I
01:10:49couldn't
01:10:49hear
01:10:49anything.
01:10:53I
01:10:54held
01:10:54him,
01:10:55my
01:10:55voice
01:10:55shaking.
01:10:59Alexan,
01:11:00don't
01:11:00sleep.
01:11:01He
01:11:02raised
01:11:02his
01:11:02hand,
01:11:03trying
01:11:03to wipe
01:11:03the
01:11:04blood
01:11:04from
01:11:04my
01:11:04face.
01:11:05Don't
01:11:05cry.
01:11:08A
01:11:09god
01:11:09shouldn't
01:11:10shed
01:11:10tears
01:11:10for
01:11:10a
01:11:10mortal.
01:11:11My
01:11:12tears
01:11:12fell
01:11:13onto
01:11:13the

01:11:17will
01:11:17if
01:11:18I
01:11:18want
01:11:18to.
01:11:23The
01:11:24sky
01:11:24turned
01:11:25black
01:11:25in
01:11:25an
01:11:26instant.

01:11:42If

01:11:47then
01:11:48I'll
01:11:48steal
01:11:48you
01:11:48back.
01:11:49I
01:11:50knelt
01:11:50in a
01:11:50pool
01:11:51of
01:11:51blood,
01:11:51holding
01:11:52Alessan
01:11:52in my
01:11:53arms.
01:11:55that
01:11:55was
01:11:56my
01:11:56divine
01:11:56power
01:11:57burning
01:11:57away.
01:11:59The
01:11:59butler
01:12:00knelt
01:12:00outside
01:12:00the
01:12:01door,
01:12:01crying
01:12:02for the
01:12:02dracters
01:12:03to come
01:12:03in.
01:12:04But no
01:12:05one
01:12:05dared
01:12:05come
01:12:05near.
01:12:07Because
01:12:08the air
01:12:08around me
01:12:09was like
01:12:09blades.
01:12:15he
01:12:16sucked
01:12:16in a
01:12:16sharp
01:12:16breath
01:12:17and
01:12:17opened
01:12:17his
01:12:18eyes.
01:12:19But
01:12:19I
01:12:20coughed
01:12:20up
01:12:20blood
01:12:20and
01:12:21collapsed
01:12:21into
01:12:21his
01:12:22arms.
01:12:25For
01:12:26the

01:12:26time,
01:12:27his
01:12:27voice
01:12:27completely
01:12:28broke.

01:12:33I

01:12:34strength
01:12:34to
01:12:35lift
01:12:35my
01:12:35hand.
01:12:36In
01:12:37the
01:12:37chaos,
01:12:37Vincent
01:12:38burst
01:12:38in.
01:12:41He
01:12:41was
01:12:41covered
01:12:42in
01:12:42wounds,
01:12:43his
01:12:43eyes
01:12:43wild.
01:12:44When
01:12:44he
01:12:45saw
01:12:45how
01:12:45weak
01:12:45I

01:12:53Allison's
01:12:53eyes
01:12:53turned
01:12:54ice
01:12:54cold.
01:12:56Get
01:12:57out.
01:13:00Vincent
01:13:01acted
01:13:01like he
01:13:02couldn't
01:13:02hear him.
01:13:03He
01:13:03lunged
01:13:04forward,
01:13:04trying
01:13:05to
01:13:05grab
01:13:05my
01:13:05hand.
01:13:06If
01:13:06you
01:13:06can
01:13:06save
01:13:06him,
01:13:07you

01:13:12belong
01:13:12to
01:13:12me!
01:13:14I
01:13:14looked
01:13:15at
01:13:15him
01:13:15weakly.
01:13:19Even
01:13:20now,
01:13:21all he
01:13:21wanted
01:13:21was to
01:13:22take
01:13:22something
01:13:22from
01:13:23me.
01:13:26Alexan
01:13:27forced
01:13:27himself up
01:13:28and kicked
01:13:29Vincent
01:13:29away.
01:13:30Vincent
01:13:31slammed
01:13:32into the
01:13:32wall
01:13:32and spit
01:13:33blood.
01:13:33clad.
01:13:35He
01:13:36still
01:13:36tried
01:13:36to
01:13:37get
01:13:37up.
01:13:39Alisson
01:13:40snatched
01:13:40a gun
01:13:41from a
01:13:41bodyguard
01:13:42and pressed
01:13:42it to
01:13:42his knee.
01:13:44Vincent
01:13:44screamed
01:13:45and
01:13:45collapsed.
01:13:46Another
01:13:47shot tore
01:13:47through
01:13:48his
01:13:48other
01:13:48leg.
01:13:49Alisson's
01:13:50voice
01:13:50was cold
01:13:50as ice.
01:13:51Whichever
01:13:52hand you
01:13:52touched
01:13:52her
01:13:53with,
01:13:53I'll
01:13:53cripple

01:13:54Vincent
01:13:55rolled
01:13:55on the
01:13:55floor
01:13:56in
01:13:56agony.
01:13:57I

01:13:58But
01:13:58my
01:13:58heart

01:14:03just

01:14:05Vincent
01:14:05was
01:14:06locked
01:14:06in
01:14:06the
01:14:06Rookin
01:14:07Gang's
01:14:07dungeon.
01:14:08His
01:14:08legs
01:14:09were
01:14:09ruined.
01:14:09He
01:14:10would
01:14:10never
01:14:10stand
01:14:11again.
01:14:12After
01:14:13I
01:14:13woke
01:14:13up,
01:14:14Alisson
01:14:14went
01:14:15with me
01:14:15to
01:14:15see
01:14:15him.
01:14:16The
01:14:17dungeon
01:14:17was
01:14:18damp
01:14:18and
01:14:18bitterly
01:14:19cold.

01:14:28his
01:14:28eyes
01:14:28lit

01:14:31Skilled.
01:14:32Alisson
01:14:33tightened
01:14:33his grip
01:14:34on my
01:14:34hand.
01:14:35I
01:14:35didn't
01:14:35step

01:14:38Vincent
01:14:39dragged
01:14:39his
01:14:40ruined
01:14:40legs
01:14:40and
01:14:41crawled

01:14:42his
01:14:42fingers

01:14:49I
01:14:50lowered
01:14:51my
01:14:51eyes.

01:15:08He

01:15:09his
01:15:09hand
01:15:09and
01:15:09slapped
01:15:10himself
01:15:10hard
01:15:11again
01:15:12and
01:15:12again.
01:15:16I'm
01:15:17not
01:15:17human.
01:15:20Everything
01:15:21I
01:15:21had
01:15:21was
01:15:22given
01:15:22by

01:15:28He
01:15:29cried
01:15:29until
01:15:29his
01:15:30voice
01:15:30was
01:15:30hoarse.
01:15:33If

01:15:37maybe
01:15:37my
01:15:37heart
01:15:38would
01:15:38have
01:15:38softened.
01:15:40But
01:15:40now,
01:15:41he
01:15:41only
01:15:42felt
01:15:42like
01:15:42a

01:15:47lifetime

01:15:52it

01:15:55You
01:15:55treated
01:15:55it
01:15:56like
01:15:56a
01:15:56joke.
01:15:57He
01:15:58looked
01:15:58up,
01:15:59his
01:15:59eyes
01:15:59full
01:15:59of
01:15:59despair.

01:16:13Vincent
01:16:13froze,
01:16:14and what
01:16:15I see
01:16:15is someone
01:16:16greedy,
01:16:17stupid,
01:16:18selfish,
01:16:20and unworthy
01:16:21of being
01:16:21saved.
01:16:22His face
01:16:23slowly went
01:16:24ashen.
01:16:25I
01:16:25turned
01:16:26and left.
01:16:27Behind

01:16:28his broken,
01:16:29desperate

01:16:47Mia
01:16:48fled to
01:16:49the

01:16:49She
